Topic: how do you guys wrap your wires that go to your harness?

[cadaver]

well I'm waiting on some parts to show up and I've found all my electrical problem i think  , so what i want to do is cover up the wires that are showing , looks really allfull ...what are the best ways of redoing them where they will allmost be  like factory ...and the next question is if all wires are working the way i want it, should i just use solder and shrink tube or just use some bullets ?

I'm no expert as regrds wiring so I can't answer your first question, but to the second one I would say use bullets every time. Just incase the eventuality of having to disconnect the wire you've just soldered arises. One day you're gonna chop off too much of the wire and will have to rewire the whole path.

The factory bundles were electrical taped. You can get silicone tape at Home Depot in the plumbing section. It is black and you stretch while you wrap it and it really holds well, looks nice, and should last a long time.

I'm no electrical wizard but I just used plain old black electrical tape to cover some of my wires. Wrap it tight like bobby says and it looks just fine.

Where ever I see a possible chafing situation, I cut a short length of plastic wire loom, wrap the harness with the loom, then, tape over the loom so that it stays in place and looks factory.

All shrink tube, all the time.    Just make sure you go through ALL of the connectors and resolder EVERYTHING before covering it with the tubing.  (it would be a real pain to have to trace a wire without cutting into the tubing!) I haven't had a single problem though, pretty much water tight and protects the wires really well.
